I was introduced to Local Pages recently and, after browsing there for only a few minutes, I was already in love with the concept: customize the coupons and discounts specifically to my local area so that I know which ones will work for me.

Makes perfect sense! There are a million great deals that can be found online, but if they are for retail stores, restaurants and attractions that aren't in my area, then how am I going to be able to take advantage of them?

That's where Local Pages is different. They make it fast and easy to type in your city or the brand or service that you're looking for and find the results that you are going to be able to use. Who doesn't want a bargain that they'll be sure to enjoy?As the leader in local coupons, discounts, and advertising, LocalPages.com has a wide selection of shopping deals available right at your fingertips. Whether you're looking for local businesses, deals, coupons, news, advertising for your own business or more, they have something for everyone... at a discount!

Right now I'm looking at a deal to receive up to 400 sq. ft. of carpet cleaning for $49... a $120 value! It only takes a glance around here to see that, thanks to our kids seeming to have a hard time getting the food in their mouths instead of on the floor, our carpets could definitely use a good cleaning.

Last month I also spent time checking out the spas and salons in my area as I wrote my salon gift certificate giveaway and I spent the afternoon dreaming of pedicures and highlights and massages. This month, Local Pages is giving me a reason to browse through the great selection of clothing stores and boutiques in my hometown... some that I wasn't familiar with before.

Who knew that there is a great little boutique downtown that sells gorgeous gowns like this?

I'm not sure where I would wear one, but wow!

With the long-awaited arrival of spring and summer now just around the corner, Local Pages is a great place to visit to look for discounts at your favorite stores. See what's around your area or type in your favorite and you just might find a deal that you can't pass up!
